Years ago I had the greatest dentist and I got to know the whole staff and was really comfortable with everyone who worked there. So on a visit for a cleaning, I joked with the hygienist that she should write in my file that she discovered evidence of microscopic scar tissue on my gums and signs of possible alien implant holes drilled into my teeth. She wrote something on a small piece of pink paper and dropped it into the file. YEARS later, I moved to a different state and got a new dentist. That office actually asked for my dental records and the old dentist office was happy to send the folder to them. Seems odd now thinking back on that. Why not just call the office and ask for the most recent date of an x-ray?

The records got to the new office before I had my first appointment. So when I actually did get in there for my first visit, the dentist took out a small piece of pink paper. He asked me about it... I asked to see it. Written on the paper "Patient believes he has alien implants in his teeth."

I love it! Your new dentist probably thought he was dealing with someone who was extremely mentally unhinged! The question is, did you disabuse them of that notion...or did you let them continue believing what the hygienist wrote?
